Toro RIU Sell Sheet

RADIO INTERFACE

UNIT (RIU)

The Toro® Radio Interface Unit combines the functions of the OSMAC® Base Station and Hand-held Remote
Interface (HHRI) in a single unit. Available in a dual radio configuration that performs both Base Station and HHRI
functions, a single radio configuration that’s programmable for either function, and a radio-less configuration
that’s programmable for either function and utilizes a user-supplied external radio for added flexibility.

Features & Benefits

Hand-held Radio Control

As a hand-held interface for most Toro golf irrigation
platforms, the RIU provides control of your system
while you’re on the go. As a base station for OSMAC
systems, the RIU provides both hand-held control and
central-to-satellite communication.

Rugged Reliability

With 100% duty cycle capability, the Radio Interface
Unit was designed to operate continuously, 24 hours
per day, 7 days per week. As such, the RIU easily
withstands the rigorous demands of a golf course
irrigation system.

Lower Operating Cost

Using robust UHF radio technology, the RIU interfaces
with your Lynx® or SitePro® central without the burden
of recurring network costs.

Flexibility

The RIU can be tailored to fit your application with
programmable selections for: OSMAC Base Station
and Hand-held Remote Interface modes, independent
transmit/receive UHF frequencies, independent transmit/
receive private line settings (CTCSS) and transmit power.
